‘White Jews’: A New American Leftist Antisemitism

If you remain silent when you hear the term “white Jews,” you are not doing your part to stop this creeping hatred.

A recent controversy about anti-Jewish views in the Women’s March has lifted the curtain on a new antisemitism that is percolating in American circles.

“Now Women’s March activists are grappling with how they treat Jews, and whether they should be counted as privileged white Americans or ‘marginalized’ minorities,” The New York Times noted in a recent piece. The labeling of Jews as “white” and debates on how to “treat Jews,” as if Jews are packages in a supermarket is a form of dehumanizing rhetoric designed to force Jewish people into a binary of “white/non-white” that is currently trendy in US discussions.

The new toxic discussion taking place primarily in the United States is designed to label Jews as “white supremacists.” For instance, Tamika Mallory, the Women’s March leader, told the Times that this issue was raised at an early meeting of the marchers.

“Since that conversation, we’ve all learned a lot about how white Jews, as white people, uphold white supremacy, ALL Jews are targeted by it,” she said. Some groups on the far Left have even embraced this concept. Rebecca Vilkomerson tweeted about it on December 24.

“We white Jews especially need to recognize that centering out own status as victims here is a power move, as well as a way to avoid self-reflection on our relative status in a white supremacist world,” Vilkomerson tweeted.

It is particularly interesting, given the history of antisemitism, how Jews are now considered not only recipients of white privilege, due to their often passing as white, but are seen as emblematic of whiteness and a part of white supremacy. The concept of antisemitism was coined by anti-Jewish activist Wilhelm Marr, who objected to the idea that Jews would assimilate into Germany. Antisemitism became entwined with the idea that Jews were a separate “race” from white Europeans, particularly Germans and northern Europeans. Today that has come full circle and Jews are portrayed as not just passing as white, but of being an example of white supremacy.

How can this be, only 70 years after the Holocaust that the people genocided for being non-white and non-European are now called white supremacists? It is part of a carefully managed agenda in the United States to not permit Jews to be part of discussions about “people of color” or racism. The reason for this is that hatred of Jews has always been about creating an all-encompassing other that is dehumanized and then defining that as “the Jews.” Therefore in European history, Jews were hated for not being Christian, accused of blood libels and forced to live in ghettos or enter cities through the gate where the swine and sewage was. Then came the era when Jews were assimilating and becoming less religiously observant so they were labeled not as a religious problem, but an ethnic-racial problem. Oriental “wandering Jews,” who were foreigners. Today in the US where the popular view in some left-leaning circles is that being “white” is a kind of slander, Jews are “white Jews.”

The term “white Jews” is anti-Jewish because no other group is subjected to this same slur of forcibly shoehorning them into a false whiteness. For instance, Muslims, of which are almost two billion, are not called “white Muslims.” Only Jews are called “white Jews.” Used often enough, the term is designed to dehumanize Jews and take away their diversity, forcing them into the “white” category in America, the category that means “majority” and “privileged.”

The term “white Jews” should be resisted. It is designed solely to make Jews not only an “other” but at the same time a member of the majority. “White” means “majority” in the US, while “Jew” means “other.” So labeling Jews “white” is a way to purposely attack and single out this one group. You’ll notice that those who use this term don’t say “white Muslims, white Hindus, white Catholics.” There is only one group whose religion they seek to lump in with “white.” The goal is to say this often enough until the word “Jew” is synonymous with white. And you’ll notice that “white supremacy” is often lumped in as well, until the word “Jew” in some American circles will be synonymous with “white supremacy.”

This strips Jews of their historic and wonderful diversity. Jews are from Yemen, Morocco, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Ethiopia, India and many other places. When Americans say “white Jews” the idea is to rip that diversity away and bleach it out until there is no history of Jewish people. Jews are even told now that any discussion of Jews being victims of racism is a way for Jews “dwell” or “center” on themselves. The only minority group in America told that it cannot discuss its suffering, and that it is “white.” Just as the term antisemitism, coined in the 19th century, led to dehumanizing of Jews, the term “white Jews” is designed to dehumanize, to package Jews into one monochrome and binary concept of race.

If you remain silent when you hear the term “white Jews,” you are not doing your part to stop this creeping hatred. There are no white Jews. There are Jews. There are white people. One is not synonymous with the other. Some Jews may appear white, or even have origins in Europe. Some do not. There are many more Muslims who pass as white than there are Jews. If you don’t use the term “white Muslims” then you must not use the term “white Jews” and anyone who uses the term “white Jews” must be immediately confronted as to why no other religion gets this “white” definitional treatment.

To a libtard if it is racist to see all people of a race as bad it must be the opposite of racism to see all people of a race as good.

Never had a clue it is just as racist.

Racism is about NOT seeing individuals

Sure there are a lot of Jews in powerful places, just like there are a lot of blacks in professional sports. Does not mean every black one meets is a natural athlete, just as it does not mean every Jew is running the world

And surprise, surprise, just being white does not mean you enjoy any privilege, either

The people who keep pushing this are racist, and it does not help for Jews to be writing articles to save themselves by throwing white people under the bus to distance themselves from the racist

How ironic that liberals continue to insist that Nazi Germany was a “far right” government. We are seeing history repeat itself. Between the fascism of anti-white/anti-Christian/anti-Conservatism that we are seeing from all of the big tech companies, to the accepted use of violence of those the left sees guilty of ‘wrong think’, it is extremely clear that we are heading, once again, towards a future that could see undesirables (in this case, white people and Jews) herded into concentration camps or worse. Perhaps it is we who should be employing force to halt this obvious march towards future tyranny.

Capt. ITS NOT ironic, but willful ignorance and indoctrination that keeps them claiming germany was ‘far right’..

When you see the outrage after some of these women activists accused “white Jews” of supremacy, you should realize how hostile the anti-white rhetoric in America actually is.

All the name-calling and accusations (racism, supremacy, privilege, bigotry, xenophobia, being a cancer on humanity) directed at whites are, ostensibly, OK but if someone directs any of these at “white Jews” than the skies are going to fall. (As I understand some of those objecting to the term, they insist that Jews should not be put in the same racial group as whites.)

For the last five decades we have been targets of hostilities that will not subside until we are reduced to the role of subservient minority in our own country, or are forced out from it. Initially, they begun weakening us under the deceitful pretexts, like diversity, racial reconciliation, multiculturalism, and eradication of racism. Now, those who previously claimed that they were just trying to built a “color-blind” society no longer hide their real intentions, and the current controversy provides a clear proof of their anti-white hostility.

For if the described attacks on whites were not real and harmful then there would be no outrage when some of the attackers included “white Jews” in the targeted population.

So, wake up and realize that the war on whites has been waged 50+ years ago and is only escalating as the attackers grow bigger and stronger. We have been sleeping for 50+ years. Isn’t it enough?

Well said A-reader.. THe ‘war on whites’ has been going on for decades, but now it hits a specific sub-set, then all of a sudden, its “Wrong”?? Sorry, but it has been wrong from the get go.

Much ado about nothing, this time from the Jerusalem Post. In the US, we treat all races as legally equal, and that’s all that matters and is relevant. As for the race of the Jews?
In Israel, the Jews from Ethiopia don’t look European — they look African. The Jews from Europe, born in Israel or having emigrated from Europe, generally look like Europeans, whether Eastern or Central Europeans, or Southern Europeans, like Italians. To that extent, if you insist on racial classifications, they are White, the politically-correct indignation from the Jerusalem Post notwithstanding.
The race-baiting of the leftist trash, like Linda Sarsour, is quite beside the point.

Are these people trying to piss off whites or are they just plain stupid? I think it will be fun to watch when they turn on each other and they will when one group decides it doesn’t want to as radical as the others.

From my personal experience, all anti-racist groups are in fact the MOST racist groups that exist. They are filled with hatred and desire SEPARATION by culture. They are the ones that attempt to define what is racist, and nothing they do will ever be considered racist even though many times they surpass any legal definition of racist action and words.

IT is time to REMOVE all questions on all legal documents as to race, color or creed. As long as the government asks then there IS RACISM even in the asking. Every business and every government agency needs to separate itself completely from ALL statistics and models and questionnaires. END it all together by ending it.
Racism will disappear when the government and business as well as non-profits fails to recognize race.

Carmen Perez, Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory are just race baiters and hate mongers. They really belong in a society some place that likes hating people. They talk about people and call them racists and these are three of the biggest racists in the world. These people are totally disgusting and no body should pay any attention to them.

While there’re indeed non-white Jews, most Jews are Caucasian, although perhaps not Nordic Aryan, much to Hitler’s chagrin. The Semitic people, both Jews and Arabs, are Caucasian, the descendants of Abraham. This makes the ARAB Muslims white. Some conservatives don’t realize or accept these facts. Sadly, the go to card for the left to divide conservatives is most often the race card.

Of course nowadays the largest group of Muslims are Asian, with Indonesia being the largest Muslim nation in the world. This is despite what Obama once claimed in saying the US was the largest Muslim nation in the world. Of course some Muslims in the Mideast thought the US was a Muslim country as they believed it had elected a Muslim president.

But one of America’s great strengths is its mixture of peoples of different races, nationalities, religions, and ethnic groups. The ties that should bind us are the English language and American history (a Constitutional Republic with a free market capitalist economy) and culture.

— “But one of America’s great strengths is its mixture of peoples of different races, nationalities, religions, and ethnic groups.”

You’re saying that “diversity makes us stronger” — the greatest canard perpetrated by the Left. Dr. Thomas Sowell addressed the issue many times, and he shows that such diversity is ALWAYS a potential source of conflict and a potential violent conflict at that. In the US, the Left attempts to manipulate non-White citizens into voting against Whites. ANY non-White failure (as in the Black community) is immediately blamed on “White racism.” Why do you think Blacks have been voting about 90% for the Dems, Hispanics 70% for the Dems, and Asians (“the model minority”) also 70% for the Dems? The Asians have been very successful in the US, yet they also succumb to anti-White race-baiting.

I agree with everything you said except what you said about Conservatives. Most of know there are really only 3 races: Asian, Caucasian, and Negroid. Everything else is a mix. But what we really are is less race obsessed.

Ethnic Jews that believe in Judaism tend to be conservatives (I will refer to these as “religious Jews”). Ethnic Jews that do not believe in Judaism tend to be Leftist Dems (I will refer to these as “secular Jews”). I suspect Dems actually hate Judaism because they hate the foundations of the United States which much are Judeo-Christian values, not so much people that are ethnic Jews. So, IMO, secular Jews are in the right party. Religious Jews are generally Republican already. So things actually are normal.

I think where secular Jews sometimes are conflicted is the support (or lack of support) of Israel. They couldn’t care less about Judaism or Israel and feel no affinity toward their fellow ethnic Jews in Israel, but some do. I have worked with some conflicted secular Jews. One in particular described himself as a “dyed in wool Democrat”. He identified himself very strongly as an ethnic Jew, but not religiously. He identified himself very strongly as a Democrat, but he had major problems with the Dem party with respect to Israel and the anti business nature of the Dem Party. He just looked away on those two issues even those those two issues were very important to him, and continued to vote for and promote Democrats.

Which makes me wonder, why SO MANY WHITES go for being libtards?? Do they hate themselves that bloody much??

I suspect it’s a psychopathology.
White libs try to prove to themselves that they are not “White racist,” because the mere appearance of “White racist” is presumably worse than murder. And so they become insane — one’s own worst enemy. Remember Mollie Tibbetts, the young White woman in Iowa that was murdered by a Hispanic illegal? The victim’s family became hysterical protesting ANYONE who would mention that tragedy (“don’t politicize it”). Insanely, the father of the victim started praising Mexican food. (“Hispanics in Iowa same as Iowans, only with better food.”) What the he!!? Why not say most Hispanics are decent people? And why not distinguish between US citizens that are Hispanics and illegal aliens?
Now another article reports that the victim’s mother allegedly has given refuge to another illegal alien.
So there you have it.

What a sad state then. THEY no longer deserve our sympathy, but our scorn.

First of all I am Jewish. Second I am Caucasian or “white” if you prefer. One has nothing to do with the other. I can stop being Jewish any day I care to and then return to Judaism as I feel the desire to. Whether I want to partake of Judaism as a religion or as a way of life it has nothing to do with my skin color. Just as it has nothing to do with my economic status.

I grew up lower middle class without privilege. I never received any benefit because of my skin color. I had to work for everything as did my parents. In my generation as in my parents’ there was no welfare, food stamps, special housing, free medical or anything else that the invaders of the US feel that they are entitled to. We did not get to claim special religious rights that the Muslims feel that they are entitled to. I was American, not a hyphenated American and I obeyed the mores of my country. The problem is non white Jews. The problem is liberals who feel that the only rights are the ones they condone.

“If you remain silent when you hear the term ‘white’, you are not doing your part to stop this.” I am NOT “white”, nor “white Evangelical”, nor “Irish-American”. I am simply an American…my descent is none of your business and matters not. I am not a whiny victim who wears their weakness on their sleeve thinking the way to defeat racism is becoming a racist.
Make no mistake, these same idiots sign up for every bit of aid offered by their oppressors, even as they protest. Where the hell is my ‘white privilege’? Two scoops please!
Stop putting microphones in front of these children that have no knowledge of history, maturity or wisdom.

Lots of stupid people talking. all on the left because know – zero.
Being Jewish is a religion as they come from all over, they usually are White and they are mostly liberal. They work hard,push education for their children and have contributed big to America.. Stop starting Trouble

Why are whites being intimidated by these bigots! Everything they have is because of whites! Enough already, they started with political correctness and thanks to the president he is putting a stop to it! We allowed Obama to promote descension and to divide the country at all levels and allow animals like Sarsour to rise and spread her hate against Christians, whites and Jews! The left,along with the Fake News have welcomed these divisions and strongly support and spread their policies! America wake up before it’s too late! Look how they have infiltrated everything and are systematically brainwashing us all! They are turning the freedoms that are enjoyed here against whites! The country has made huge strides against bigotry, more is need but these people are not happy and want to stir the pot and use division to achieve their agendas!

Aww, guess this means we will be deprived of at least some of the nauseating & tedious media coverage this year of belligerent women sporting crude vulgar genitalia hats & proudly screaming how “nasty” they are just in case it wasn’t obvious to one & all.

Oh well, I’m sure the MSM will regale us with some of their usual rants re: anti-Trump, anti-male, anti-white, anti-hetetosexual, anti-Christian, anti-gun, anti-fossil fuel, anti-American flag / national anthem, anti-borders, anti-law enforcement of illegal aliens & black / brown people crimes and in general anti-anything & anyone they don’t have absolute control over.

So, women’s march or no women’s march, we can still rely on our MSM to insult & bombard us with their unending Chinese torture BS.

I see that as usual, the Left continues to categorize human beings into racial groups. Race, to
the Left, is very, very important. If the races are so different from each other, how come folks
of any one of them can transfuse blood to members of any other race? People are individuals.
Of course, in Communism, people are merely cogs in the proverbial wheel, and individualism
is something that doesn’t exist. When we all start concentrating on what we have in common as human beings rather than ways to separate everyone into categories (especially in physical appearance), then we’ll start to enjoy peace in this world….

We now have our own country, about the size of Rhode Island, with an Army, Navy, Air Force, Mossad and Haganah, nuclear weapons, means of delivery and the will to use them. Ask the IslamofascistJihidiCamelhumpers how messing with the Jews worked out for them in 1967 and 1972. All the NAZI war criminals our government didn’t hire who escaped Germany were eliminated and if Linda Sarsour were considered a threat, she would have disappeared by now. When we say, “Never Again!” we’re not whistling Hava Nagela.
